Add named cues, audio markers and a rehearsal loop

The Markers panel holds cues, audio markers and the loop. All of it is saved with the song.

Cues

1. Click the waveform where you want the cue (the cursor is the white line).
2. Press Set cue. The cue snaps to the nearest beat and appears on the waveform and in the list.
3. Type a name into the list — "Chorus", "Solo", "Half-time". The name shows on the waveform, in the export's WAV markers, in the MIDI tempo map and in the CSV.

Each entry has a Remove cue control; Clear all cues removes them all.

Markers with audio

An audio marker plays a file at a point in the song — a spoken "chorus in two", a count, a stab.

1. Place the cursor where the marker should fire. During playback the cursor is the play position, so you can also press the button while listening.
2. Press + Add marker at cursor & attach audio and choose the file.
3. In a WAV export it goes onto the click side, a little under the click's level so it never clips. In a zip export it gets its own CUES file.

Could not decode that audio means the browser cannot read that file — export it as WAV or MP3 and try again. Audio markers are not saved with the song (the audio stays on your machine); add them again after reopening.

The rehearsal loop

Drag a region on the waveform to set a loop. It snaps to the beat grid, so the loop starts and ends on beats. The status line shows Loop: 1:40 – 1:48; playback then cycles the region until you press Stop. Change the loop while it plays and it restarts on the new edges. A loop that fits on screen holds still while it plays — only the playhead moves.

To remove the loop, press Clear loop ✕ next to the transport (it is there whenever a loop is set), press L with the waveform focused, or use Clear loop under Markers. All three do the same.

With the waveform focused you can also press I for loop in and O for loop out at the cursor.
